Work permit in Norway? Our experts are here to help you!
For professionals with an assignment in Norway, the immigration process is rather bureaucratic and complex to manage without seeking assistance. Luckily, our global mobility and relocation department can provide excellent and efficient immigration applications, and is ready to assist in any case immediately.
The process of immigrations varies depending on if the expat/contractor is from within or outside of the EU/EEA. Regardless, these are some of the steps in the immigration application service:
Contact with assignee
The assignee is contacted to inform, guide and respond to matters relevant to the application. A pre-reigstration is also done with the UDI.
Request necessary documentation from the employer
We only assist assignees with a confirmed assignment in Norway. The employer of the assignee is contacted to provide further relevant information to the application.
Read through and check
Before submitting all relevant documents to UDI (Directorate of Immigration), all papers are controlled to make sure the application will be approved without unncessary and time consuming additional mail to and from UDI.
Submittal of application and follow-up
The application is submitted and kept track of through the process management system. This is updated and the assignee is informed of UDI’s decision.
